Great. I think it's very useful to see these 'simple' old ways as it helps you see the clear 'basic' step and processes for the fundamentals of blacksmithing. Very skilled these African gentlemen.
This is great insight on the blacksmith of Samburu,this people are doing wonderful work. I can imagine if a little technology can be incorporated in theire work. Congratulations nomad footprint.
They even bless their tools so they could hit straight! That's hardcore! I don't know a single smith that has his tools blesses. So Im going to be the first in North America.
